The quickest way to start the store using

Two Woo Express choices based on the requirements you have

We'll go over the specifics below, but the first point to be aware of is Woo Express is a subscription option for that allows you to start working with your online store right away, comes bundled with a set of extensions essential to your store, as well as being powered by WordPress.com.

The very best of SaaS and open source

Woo created this service because it offers the best combination of an A or B choice software as a services (SaaS) or an open source, standalone application. SaaS choices are subscription websites, like Shopify or Wix. Options that are open-source, such as WordPress with , are free to download and use, as well as the option to purchase.

Woo Express is fundamentally open source, but can be controlled as if it was a SaaS solution -- meaning it is possible to manage your site through a subscription. through .

The benefits of open-source software

It also means that companies are able to create portable backups and use that backup to transfer their website to a new host should they decide that they're not interested in WordPress.com hosting any longer. The website remains the same, and lessens the inconvenience that a migration might cause.

The software that's open source is also believed to be more secure, because the source code is made available in the public domain to allow others to be able to access, read, and improve and modify it. Since there are so many eyes looking at the program, issues can be discovered and corrected faster than other types of software. Also, we are subject to higher standards of code, since weaknesses can be discovered more quickly when code is publicly accessible by anyone in the public domain.

What's different with Woo Express

Woo Express is a version of the WordPress platform that has the most important and useful features installed and pre-configured, and it runs on the cloud infrastructure of WordPress.com, so you don't need to buy a third-party hosting plan as you typically do with WordPress.org.

Woo Express is still the same as the Woo Express plugin, however hosting is included.

However, Woo Express is still owned by you You can also use your site backup for switching to another hosting service at any point, which is hard to accomplish using SaaS alternatives like Shopify and Wix.

Benefits of WordPress hosting

By using Woo Express, that back-and-forth is eliminated: everything is controlled from your WordPress administrator account.

Woo Express with WordPress hosting also offers optimal security features, because it includes Jetpack scan. Jetpack is a subsidiary company to Woo as well as WordPress as well, which is hosted on WordPress.com also.
